Garmin Descent MK3 43mm dive computer
The Garmin Descent success story goes on with the new Garmin Descent MK3 series of dive computers, which continues the winning streak of the popular and very successful high-end Garmin Descent MK1 and Descent MK2 dive computers and of course offers a lot more, both as a dive computer but also as an outdoor watch, as a smartwatch and as a sports watch.
The new Garmin dive computer MK3 43mm offers an unrivalled range of technical refinements and innovations that provide you with maximum safety and comfort when diving, through accurate planning of your diving activities, easy underwater orientation and precise monitoring of your health and is also available as an air-integrated dive computer in two versions as Descent MK3i 51mm with integrated Flashlight or Mk3i 43mm, both with the Garmin Transmitter T2 Transciever with sonar technology.
Safety when diving and on the move thanks to satellite connection
Advanced (diving) adventurers who travel the world will be pleased to hear that the new MK3 dive computers are all compatible with Garmin InReach (only with active satellite subscription), which allows you to get help and stay in touch from anywhere in the world, even without a mobile data connection. Read more in the description of Garmin InReach communication devices, which you can also find in our online divestore.
And if you want your Garmin computer to allow you to monitor your buddy or even your whole dive group from underwater or from the surface, track their position and distance and check their air consumption, if you even want to communicate with other divers via Garmin computer by exchanging underwater messages via Diver2Diver, you should opt for the air-integrated version of the Garmin Descent Mk3, the Mk3i 43mm or Mk3i 51mm, together with the Garmin Descent T2 Transciever with SubWave 2. 0 sonar technology, which provide you with innovative functions that go far beyond basic air integration, such as diver monitoring, dive messaging and much more.
Your health is always in focus with the new Garmin dive computer MK3
Dive Readiness is a concept based on the use of a large number of fine sensors to accurately measure and evaluate critical factors that can affect your risk of decompression sickness, in order to provide you with a safe dive. Data on your health, physical fitness, cognitive abilities, level of relaxation, but also important environmental factors are taken into account to provide you with a risk prediction for the dive. Especially divers with health impairments or divers who undertake very demanding underwater tours will benefit from this extensive data evaluation.
All Garmin MK3 models are equipped with Advanced WHRM, an optical heart rate sensor on the wrist, but can also be used with a Garmin Heart Belt for precise heart rate measurement, for example when the dive computer is worn over a wetsuit.
Very accurate orientation with compass and dive maps and GNSS satellite navigation
Underwater navigation has never been easier or more accurate, thanks to the innovative orientation aids offered by the new Garmin MK3 series. A very precise electronic 3D compass with tilt compensation helps you to always find the right bearing.
And as an absolute novelty, you will find pre-installed worldwide DiveView maps on all MK3 dive computers, which show you the topographical representation of the water bottoms and all surrounding dive spots in great detail. This allows you to find your way perfectly and safely even in completely unknown diving areas.
In the DiveMap view, you can activate the installed TopoActive map and thus have very precise depth contours and depth range shadings graphically displayed, as well as special areas such as marine parks or nature reserves.
When used as a multi-sport watch on the surface of the water, the Garmin MK3 offers you, as an absolute novelty, very accurate navigation based on GNSS satellite navigation, which, unlike GPS navigation, offers all-embracing orientation, as it uses all global satellite navigation systems, such as GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou and other local systems, and thus offers accurate worldwide navigation. Whether you're sailing, trekking, cycling, hiking or doing any other sport that requires you to travel long distances in unfamiliar areas around the world, your MK3 computer will help you navigate the globe with accurate TopoActive maps and GNSS tracking.
Five dive modes for advanced diving needs
From simple recreational dives with compressed air, to extended underwater tours with Nitrox or deep dives with Trimix, to advanced diving adventures with closed circuit rebreathers, with the MK3 anything goes. Even if you want to do without air underwater altogether, the MK3 dive computer accompanies you during freediving with the Apnea and Apnea Hunt modes.
Depending on the planned dive, environmental conditions, daily form or experience level, you can choose between different preset gradient factors with the MK3 dive computers to individually adjust the conservatism of your diving adventures for more safety and optimal bottom time.
Robust dive computer with many helpful measuring instruments
Just like the older versions, all MK3 Garmin dive computers also offer the classic display backlight which automatically adapts to the Environment light conditions.
Other useful measuring instruments are also integrated into the new technical wonder from Garmin to provide you with all the information you need for a perfectly relaxed underwater adventure - depth gauge, water temperature, gyroscope, accelerometer and barometric altimeter.
Packed in extremely robust materials such as DLC Titanium, shockproof, rustproof and waterproof up to 200m, with a sapphire glass display protector and interchangeable QuickFit straps made of different materials, the Garmin MK3 43mm is very well suitable for extreme diving adventures that demand a lot from your dive computer.
Dive computer and sports watch in one
Thanks to the very advanced and absolutely innovative diving features, divers in particular will be delighted with the new Garmin MK3 computers, but these technological gems also have a lot to offer outside of the water, as Garmin Sports watches and outdoor watches. As the perfect companion for divers who also enjoy other outdoor activities, the MK3 is suitable for many other sports where you value accurate monitoring of your physiological data, comprehensive evaluation of your sporting performance, good analysis of environmental conditions and very precise navigation including orientation maps, whether climbing, orienteering, jogging, hiking, ski touring, swimming, cycling, sailing and other more than 80 different Sports apps.
Many practical everyday functions
Even as a simple everyday companion, the MK3 watches and computers offers you many useful functions, not only as a simple watch with AMOLED touch display with time and calendar. With the MK3, many other brand-new and also well-known and practical features are available, such as Garmin Pay, Garmin Music, Smart Notifications and extensive monitoring of your health such as heart rate measurement, stress level, oxygen saturation or sleep quality.
